ALL days are 24 hours long…except when daylight saving time starts. That day is only 23 hours long. Since at 2 A.M. it becomes 3 A.M. one hour is lost, making it the shortest day of the year. Then when daylight saving time ends…THAT day is 25 hours long, (at 2 A.M it becomes 1A.M. gaining one hour) the longest day of the year.

I thought the 1st day of Winter is Dec. 22nd.

Usually this strip is a week or so late, but its a few days early this time.
But we’re getting our first snow today so I’ll accept it as 1st day of winter anyway.

It is. Because my birthday is the 21st. I always know that the days start getting longer after that. Must be an oops. lol <><
